Leigh-Anne Pinnock Bio / Age

The rising music star was born on 4th October 1991 and spent most of her early days in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. She fell in love with music during her childhood days and by age 9, she started singing and took part in numerous singing competitions in her school in which she emerged the winner. She pursed her dreams by attending the Sylvia Young Theatre School based in London and used a karaoke machine to practice at home during which she pretended to be a member of the iconic girl band Spice Girls.

The young lady took a bold step in 2011 when she auditioned for X factor singing Rihanna’s ”Only Girl” in the world with so much zest and great vocals which made her scale through to the boot camp round but she was not fortunate to make it as a solo artist and ended up being paired up with two other contestants to form a group called Orion which also ended in a disaster. It was, however, after her collaboration with Jade Thirwall, Jesy Nelson, and Perrie Edwards to form the girl band Little Mix that the stage was set for success. They were the perfect blend of voices, harmonies, and energy which left the judges no other choice than to declare them the winners at the end of the show. Her band was the first to win the British X Factor and their song rendition which was a cover of ”Cannonball” by Damien Rice topped the music charts. Her debut album with her band was ”DNA” which landed at number 3 in the Uk and Ireland album charts and with the rise of their fame, she went with the group on a tour in UK and Australia in the bid to promote the album. Subsequent albums she has been part of include ”Salute”,”Get Wierd” and ”Glory Days”.

The youngster is known to have worked with Grammy winner and star singer Missy Elliot in a single titled ”How Ya Doing?’ and has performed in top shows like the Sports Relief and Brit Awards.
